The King of Fighters '98/King

Combos

• cr.B, cr.A xx Trap Shot (tornado kick and mirage kick can combo from cr.A, but require immediate canceling to combo and Tornado Kick can whiff is not close enough. Stick with Trap Shot.)

• Close D xx D Tornado Kick

• (Corner) cl.D xx Double Strike (Second hit does not combo midscreen)

• (corner) cl.D (1 hit)/cl.B xx A Surprise Rose, D Tornado Kick. King's most damaging BnB that requires no meter. Surprise Rose generally does not lift crouchers, so keep it for stun combos or punishing mistakes.

• cl.D (1 hit) xx Silent Flash. Must cancel cl.D on the first hit to connect, which requires buffering before doing the cl.D. Not the most practical, but can serve as a punish and deals more damage than her corner juggle.
